Are the judges all German?

Nah, it's a World Title fight.

Impressed by Smith. Didn't think he'd last the full 12.

Regardless of what Halling and Watt are saying on Sky, Smith hasn't done enough to win this tonight.

Abraham by 3 rounds.

[Gibbo]

Warrior performance but I don't think he'll get it.

What an effort that was by smith...not sure if he's done enough but I thought he'd get totally outclassed...gave it his all and should be pleased regardless of result

[RichC]

Thought Smith won that but doubt he'll get the decision

[PTP]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's a draw

[Gibbo]

117-111 is wide!

As is 119 - 109! ****ing hell

[spud_gun]

Halling and Watt setting the robbery narritive from around the 10th round onwards.

[PTP]

****ing hell didn't event get close on points!

[RichC]

Bollocks scoring that

[spud_gun]

Halling and Watt are a ****ing embarrassment

[Chris]

The right winner though Abraham is a mediocre super mid with no power at that weight.

Watt and Halling need putting down. The week long "robbery" cries are going to be unbearable.

Part agree but he never lost 10 rounds!

[RichC]

He deserves a rematch at least as no way did he lose to that margin.

WBO to review Paul Smith points defeat by Arthur Abraham

The WBO is to review the footage and official reports of Paul Smith's super-middleweight title fight with Armenian-German Arthur Abraham.
Liverpudlian Smith, 31, lost to Abraham on a controversial points decision on Saturday and has called for a rematch.
Judges scored the contest 117-110, 117-111 and 119-109 in Abraham's favour.
The WBO tweeted: "The #WBO is waiting to receive the assigned supervisor's report and replaying the fight before giving an opinion on #AbrahamSmith."
After the fight in Kiel, Germany, Smith described the decision as "disgusting".
His promoter Eddie Hearn tweeted the scorecards were: "some of the worst I have seen".
The WBO could overturn the result or deem the bout a no-contest.
It could also enforce a rematch by making Smith mandatory challenger.
Smith claimed Abraham promised a return bout at the post-fight press conference and the Liverpudlian is hopeful the two-weight world champion will stick to his word.
"The best outcome for me is for the WBO to watch the fight, sort the judges out, get three neutral and competent judges in, make me mandatory challenger and put the fight up for purse bids," he told Sky Sports.
"Let's do it again and have an immediate rematch."
